Chapter 558: Chapter 556: Is that not so good?
Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but doubt himself when he said this.
After all, they were not very clear about the matters of the Song Family, and the information they could gather might not represent the whole situation.
Pei Huai shrugged his shoulders, "I’ve thought about this just now, but after all, it’s the Song Family’s affair. We better not get involved."
No one knew the affairs of the Song Family better than Song Sinian.
He should be able to handle it.
Xia Wenyan nodded, yet his expression remained serious.
Seeing him like this, Pei Huai moved the towel he was using to dry his hair down to cover his eyes, "Yanyan, I think you’d better worry about yourself..."
"Hmm?"
"I remember you’re off work tomorrow, you can rest..."
"..."
Late at night, Xiao Family.
"Crash!"
The sound of a teacup smashing on the floor was particularly loud in the room.
The person in the room shivered suddenly, seeing an angry Xiao Mo still obediently crouched down to pick up the fragments on the floor.
But the two people sitting on the sofa were completely indifferent.
"Is what you just said true?" Xiao Mo looked displeased at Xiao Jinglan, who was sitting opposite on the sofa, his eyebrows nearly knotted.
Xiao Jinglan nodded slightly and took a few sips of the floral tea prepared on the table.
As it was night, floral tea was prepared. Her gaze fell on Hao Jiayi, who was squatting on the floor picking up ceramic fragments, a trace of contempt flickering through her eyes.
Just a cheap woman who climbed into Xiao Mo’s bed using her body, huh!
She put down the teacup in her hand and then spoke slowly and methodically, "Of course what I said is true. Today’s banquet has just ended, and there are already quite a few people spreading the news that the Song Group is going to collaborate with the Rimu Family of Country R."
Song Sinian, as the president of the Song Group, had just collaborated with the foreign XJ Group, making the Song Group an existence beyond reach for other companies.
Now they planned to collaborate with the Rimu Family of Country R, was this aiming for the sky?
Xiao Mo bit his teeth angrily, always feeling that Song Sinian’s success was just too easy.
He had been desperately working at the Song Group for many years, and had just achieved some small success, only to be instantly reduced to nothing by Song Sinian.
Those old guys who had agreed to promote him were probably all wavering now.
The thought made Xiao Mo irritable.
He bit his teeth in annoyance, "Why didn’t I receive any notice of the Rimu Family coming to our country?"
Logically, they should have been more sensitive to such business information.
Why did Song Sinian and Lu Zhaozhao both finish attending the banquet, and he had only just found out?!
This information discrepancy was extremely unfriendly to him!
Xiao Jinglan pouted, "The Rimu Family came to the country suddenly and sent invitations to many people, but they didn’t send one to the Song Group, instead they directly invited Song Sinian personally, so it’s normal for you not to know."
Typically, such invitations would be sent to the company and then delivered to the president’s office by the secretarial department.
But this invitation was sent directly to Song Sinian, so it’s normal that their eyes in the company were unaware.
Xiao Mo’s face looked even uglier, "You mean, the people from the Rimu Family only value Song Sinian?"
Xiao Jinglan was swept by Xiao Mo’s suddenly venomous gaze, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
She furrowed her brows slightly and said lightly, "This matter indeed shows the Rimu Family’s lack of integrity, but I heard that Lu Zhaozhao caused quite a scandal at the banquet, and because of her, Rimu punished a house servant. It was quite a big scene."
Xiao Mo’s expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, "Tell me more about it."
This might be an excellent opportunity to break the collaboration between Rimu and Song Sinian.
The collaboration between the Song Group and Rimu Family probably hadn’t been finalized yet, after all, the Song Group is a top player domestically.
It was normal for Rimu to want to collaborate, but with whom they collaborate is still very important for the inside of the Song Group.
If Rimu and Song Sinian fell out over a woman, and he happened to save the day, then his position inside the Song Group would be completely different.
Thinking thus, a gleam of cunning flashed across Xiao Mo’s eyes.
Xiao Jinglan was slightly startled but seemed to understand Xiao Mo’s intentions, so she briefly relayed the news she heard to him.
"I heard that the house servant’s daughter from the Rimu Family took a fancy to Song Sinian but was beaten by Lu Zhaozhao, after which it seems that the Rimu Family Master gave face to Song Sinian by punishing that house servant..."
She paused before adding, "The news has spread like that, but the details probably need someone who attended the banquet to know."
Xiao Mo couldn’t be bothered to investigate carefully now. He was eager to catch Song Sinian’s vulnerability so he could disrupt the collaboration between Rimu and the Song Group before it was sealed!
"Go help me contact that house servant who was punished by the Rimu Family; I want to meet with him." Xiao Mo’s gaze narrowed, already formulating his plan.
The house servant punished by the Rimu Family Master must certainly hate Song Sinian now. If he collaborated with this person at this time, disrupting the collaboration between Rimu and Song Sinian would be much easier.
Xiao Jinglan frowned slightly, "Xiao Mo, the Song Group already has a tentative intention to collaborate withString the Rimu Family. If you interfere now, might it not be a bit inappropriate?" 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
At this stage, both the Song Group and Song Sinian were incomparable to the past, and Xiao Jinglan also felt the path to Xiao Mo’s accession was difficult.
During his time at the Song Mansion, he had still been able to collaborate with Xiao Mo insider-outsider.
Moreover, they had implanted quite a few people inside the Song Group in the past, and many directors, because Song Sinian had no woman all along, felt that the Song Group might lack a successor in the future.
Thus, they were willing to take some risks to support Xiao Mo’s rise.
But now... not only had Song Sinian gotten married, but he had also taken the Song Group to new heights. The people they had implanted had mostly been rooted out, and the cunning old foxes on the board of directors were even less likely to stand on their side now.
Xiao Jinglan wanted to persuade Xiao Mo—his position in the Song Group, although not very high, was quite good for a person with an unrelated surname.
If Old Master Song really knew Xiao Mo’s identity, he would likely kick him straight out of the Song Group.
Xiao Mo scoffed lightly, "Not good? What’s not good about it? I’m already like this; do you think there’s anything that could be worse than now?"
"..."
Xiao Jinglan moved her lips, ultimately saying nothing.
Actually, she didn’t know.
She just felt that she didn’t have much time left and just wanted her son to live a stable life.
But Xiao Mo, whom she had watched grow up, wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted...
